What is Formaloo?
Formaloo is turning its form builder into something you describe rather than configure.
Formaloo runs a monthly release train, and the last few cycles moved it from a form builder to a workspace platform: portals with domain-restricted signup, workspace-level Themes, teams, timezone-consistent records, and voting on Kanban and Gallery boards. July's Magic Logic release is the turn — form logic, previously a rule system learned field ID by field ID, can now be generated from a plain-English description and reviewed as readable rules before it applies. The two cycles since are smaller: ranking and slider fields, Unsplash in the image picker, per-page covers.
What is Vero?
Marketing automation mid-migration, rebuilding Journeys branching on the 2.0 platform
Vero is running two platforms at once and the changelog reads that way. Vero 2.0 gained True/False and Exit nodes in Journeys — real conditional branching that routes customers on behavior, properties and actions — plus an SMS node, a Cmd+K command palette, Forms, and project-level reporting on the homepage summarizing messages sent, open, click and delivery rates. CC on emails shipped to Vero 1.0 campaigns with 2.0 support described as coming.

Formaloo is turning its form builder into something you describe rather than configure.
◆ Current state
Formaloo runs a monthly release train, and the last few cycles moved it from a form builder to a workspace platform: portals with domain-restricted signup, workspace-level Themes, teams, timezone-consistent records, and voting on Kanban and Gallery boards. July's Magic Logic release is the turn — form logic, previously a rule system learned field ID by field ID, can now be generated from a plain-English description and reviewed as readable rules before it applies. The two cycles since are smaller: ranking and slider fields, Unsplash in the image picker, per-page covers.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads are converging. The platform thread keeps replacing per-object configuration with workspace-level systems — Themes, timezone, teams, cleanup — so an admin sets something once and every form inherits it. The AI thread is aimed squarely at the setup cost of that system, and Magic Logic's design (generate, list every rule in plain text, then apply) suggests Formaloo wants AI authoring configuration rather than running at response time.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Magic Logic pattern — describe, preview as readable rules, apply in one click — to spread to the other configuration surfaces these release notes keep calling time sinks: themes, portal access rules, and data block setup.

Marketing automation mid-migration, rebuilding Journeys branching on the 2.0 platform
◆ Current state
Vero is running two platforms at once and the changelog reads that way. Vero 2.0 gained True/False and Exit nodes in Journeys — real conditional branching that routes customers on behavior, properties and actions — plus an SMS node, a Cmd+K command palette, Forms, and project-level reporting on the homepage summarizing messages sent, open, click and delivery rates. CC on emails shipped to Vero 1.0 campaigns with 2.0 support described as coming.
◆ Where it's heading
The work is about reaching parity and then passing it. Branching and exit nodes are table stakes for a journey builder, so shipping them in 2.0 marks the point where the new platform becomes usable for real lifecycle programs rather than linear sends. The CC entry shows the migration's awkward middle — a feature landing on the old platform first. Project-level reporting suggests the next concern is proving programs work, not just building them.
◆ Prediction
Expect CC and the remaining 1.0-only capabilities to close out on 2.0, since the entries explicitly flag that gap, and reporting to deepen now that a project-level summary exists.
